Strength Effects Blood Shield?

I have two rings, a crappy green ring and a 489 agi ring that has alot more stam and mastery on it than the green. Noone needed the agi ring, so I took it and decided to use it since the gained mastery and stamina seemed better than additional strength. This is my alt, btw, so I havn't kept up with it much.

Just got out of an LFR after being yelled at for having the ring; people were saying even a green str ring would be better. Is that true? I don't mind being wrong, but I don't recall strength having anything to do with the blood shield, just mastery and how much damage you have sustained.

AGI also doesn't give anything to STR tanks ever since they removed the dodge conversion for STR tanks. actually, it gives a VERY minute amount of melee crit, but none of the tanks actually earns something for survival from that.

Currently only reading the Funny Pictures Megathread because the rest of the forums is filled with piss, whiners and pissed whiners.

From a dps standpoint it's a crap ring, from the survivalside its a good upgrade - in the end for that content that you are currently running, this ring is perfectly fine - just replace it as soon as you get a good upgrade (eg. Rep ring from Shado-Pan Assault)

Not really a minor amount as it takes an entire week's worth of valor, but yeah that's as close to good itemization as you're going to get. Will probably last a good while considering none of the ToT rings seems to have mastery.
